Conroys in Watervliet always has some good size suckers in his tank.  He can order them too but it's getting a little late for that I would think.  Fish 307 on Rte 9 In Lake Geo also has suckers but again, you have to look for the bigger ones.  There's a bait shop in Schroon Lake but the name escapes me.  They will be busy this weekend with the Derby on the lake but I would bet they too would have some suckers in stock...just not sure if they'd have the jumbo's you are looking for.

I'm not sure of their current inventories but you  could try Flying Arrow in Slingerlands or Crossroads in Chestertown, just off exit 25 of the Northway.

You can try the bait shop at round lake.  He is sure to have shiners and suckers.  Just south of the lake on the right where they sell all the firewood.  Daves bait in hudson falls had alot last week.  Both shiners and suckers.  He is half the price of 307 if your in the George area.

I actually have a camp on Schroon and will be in the tourney this weekend. The reason i was asking as because with with bait supplier from Mass( michaels?) not selling bait people have been saying most shops are grtting low or are out. I know flying arrow in East Greenbush has NOTHING and he doesnt know when he will be getting any in. Thanks

MBS: Is that a shanty on those wheels? Does MBS stand for MY BIG SHANTY???  I had a shack that was 12 x 8 but yours looks bigger....you probably have to pay school taxes on that thing.   Post some pics if you have any.
